The laws of robotics were literally designed to cause conflict and facilitate strife in a fictional setting--I certainly hope no real goddamn system is built like that,.

> To ensure robots behave safely, Gemini Robotics uses a multi-layered approach. "With the full Gemini Robotics, you are connecting to a model that is reasoning about what is safe to do, period," says Parada. "And then you have it talk to a VLA that actually produces options, and then that VLA calls a low-level controller, which typically has safety critical components, like how much force you can move or how fast you can move this arm."

The generally accepted term for the research around this in robotics is Constitutional AI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08073) and has been cited/experimented with in several robotics VLAs.

Current guardrails are more IEC 61508 than anything like the three laws.

A power cord?

in practice, those laws are bs.
